Feeding your petite pooch a holistic diet makes a whole lot of difference when it’s Halo Holistic Game Bird Medley Grain-Free Small Breed Dry Dog Food. It’s made with sustainably-raised, cage-free turkey as the very first ingredient, along with a wholesome variety of non-GMO garden vegetables and nourishing oils. There’s never any kind of meat-meals, so he’ll love the meaty flavor and it’s highly digestible to ensure he receives the maximum nutritional benefit; the small kibble is specifically designed to fit the needs of dogs 25 pounds and under. Vitamins, minerals and trace nutrients are added to help keep your canine companion happy and healthy–inside and out.

Key Benefits

Sustainably-raised, cage-free turkey is the very first ingredient in this protein-rich diet, along with duck and goose.

The smaller kibble size is ideally formulated for small mouths, short digestive tracts and higher metabolisms.

About Halo Dry Dog Food

Holistic. Whole. Humane.

When pet parents want to give their pets a holistic food that's made with pure, natural, whole ingredients, they choose Halo. Their recipes use responsibly sourced whole meats and non-GMO vegetables, and never any meat meals, animal by-products or added growth hormones. It's exactly what nature intended—highly digestible ingredients that are slow-cooked in small batches to create dog food with less ash, more bioavailable nutrients and delicious flavor.

Proven Superior Digestibility

Halo believes that whole meat equals a whole lot more digestibility. As obligate carnivores, dogs need meat, not just parts of animals that you wouldn't consider to be meat. When your pet gets whole proteins instead of rendered meats like chicken meal or fish meal, they're getting optimum nutrition that's easier for their body to digest. And that means they can get the full benefits of each nutrient-rich ingredient.

What's in Your Dog's Bowl?

With Halo, you won't see a meat meal hiding anywhere in the ingredients, and there's no corn, wheat, wheat gluten, rice or artificial colors, preservatives or flavors. Here's what you will find:

Holistic Whole Meat: Salmon, chicken, lamb, venison, turkey or beef that's slow-cooked provides a more digestible source of protein with up to 16 times less ash than rendered meat.

Non-GMO Produce: Fruits and vegetables from farms that refuse to use genetically modified seeds that rely heavily on chemical fertilizers and herbicides to produce crops.

The Proof Is in the Poop

Because each recipe is made with whole meat, it's easier for your dog to digest. With Halo, more of the nutrients stay in and go to use inside your dog's body, so less is likely to come out as waste. In a digestibility test performed by an independent US laboratory, Halo's kibble came out at the top of the rankings.

DreamCoat for a Shiny Coat

The difference Halo makes isn't just on the inside—it shows through in the coat, too. Their exclusive DreamCoat blend is added to dry food formulas to help keep your dog's skin smooth and coat shiny. This combination of botanicals and other ingredients provides balanced essential fatty acids for ongoing skin and coat support.

Halo says NO to:

Meat meal (rendered meat)

Animal by-products

Added growth hormones

Corn, wheat, wheat gluten and rice

Artificial colors, preservatives and flavors

Compromises and shortcuts

Halo says YES to:

Whole meat that's responsibly sourced

Highly digestible whole proteins

Animals raised as nature intended

Fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins and minerals

Holistic, natural ingredients

Donating to shelters

Less ash and more bioavailable nutrition

Picky Poodle No More

I have a Toy Poodle "picky" eater. I wanted to get him on a food that might help with tear stains (he is white). Bought dozens of leading brand dry kibble. Before I found this " Halo " kibble, he would only eat Royal Canon. Even tho the Halo is expensive, I think the ingredients are perfect. Not sure yet if this kibble will eventually help with the tear staining, but worth a try.

What kind of magic potion is this?

My Yorkie is the pickiest dog I have ever known. It takes her days to try a new food and then she will only eat it for a couple of days and it goes to the pile of uneaten food. Anyone who can see my Chewy orders knows that I am always searching for treats and food she will like. She finally tolerated a dry food but has developed spay incontinence and research showed that a grain free food would help. I researched all the grain free products and I chose this one because of the small pieces, lack of sweet potato (which she hates) and the pretty picture (smile). I was hopeful but sure I was setting myself up for disappointment. I opened the bag and gave her a tiny morsel. She turned her head....My Yorkie is the pickiest dog I have ever known.

She turned her head....I put some in a bowl and placed it in the chair she was sitting in. Within a minute she ate the entire bowl! Then I gave it to her in the evening. She at it all! It is now day four and she devours it! Not the picky fussy "okay I will eat this because you are not feeding me table scraps" kind of eating but actually enjoying it. What kind of magic is in this bag? Now let's pray it helps with her incontinence issues!… more

We LOVE Halo!!!

We made the transition to Halo after taking our Malshi off of the puppy chow the breeder originally fed him as a puppy. We tried Nutro puppy food before he got bored with it, and we've been on Halo since then; he likes the flavors and tiny pieces. We get so many compliments on how fluffy, soft and shiny his fur is and I know it's because of his food. While he's not crazy about kibble in general he will eat this with his toppers. I love the clean ingredients which keep him healthy! It's also helped with his tear stains surprisingly. Haven't had any issues for years. It's a keeper in our house.

Love this food

Halo is a new food for our dog - he loves it. Being a small breed its easy for him to chew and digest. The ordering/shipping process went without hitch. It was so easy that we have decided to go with the auto ship process. Thanks again! Happy New Year!!

My picky dog likes it!

My dog is very difficult to shop for when it comes to food. He doesn't care for food much and just won't eat certain food. He is also is sensitive to grains. I tired other food and I am just grateful I found one he likes that doesn't give him skin problems.
Personally, one of the reasons I decided to try this food is that it uses cage free meat. That matters to me and I am grateful that I can use my ethical mindset when it comes to my dog's food as well.

New formula is terrible

My dogs used to love the old formula and would wolf it down. They now changed it to another formula that smells rather bad and my dogs have not touched it... waste of money. Please bring back the old formula!
